Jim Crow

by Leon Irby (author's profile)

Transcription

250 years of slavery.
90 years of Jim Crow.
60 years of separate but equal.
35 years of state sanctioned redling.

Until we reckon with the compounding moral debts of our ancestors, America will never be whole.

THE CASE FOR REPARATIONS!
By Ta-Nehisi Coates

The Atlantic, June 2014, theatlantic.com Cover story

Our brother billmoyers.com had Mr. Coates, guest, on this excellent last of kind. Bill Moyers and Company. Educational program, pbs.org, wpt.org, Sunday, May 25, 2014

Mr. Moyers vigorously, earnestly commend this article to all!

Unlike my own erroneous first impression. Please do not be turned off myopically by the misdirecting word: reparations!

Mr. Coates bring new and fresh insights to America's "race problem"

Please do your mind and the universe a favor: read it. Do it.
